SCOE

Solar Array Simulator: safe way to simulate power of satellite solar arrays

SAS provides simulation of an adaptable and independent number of solar array power sections delivering up to 3 kW, or even more electrical power per section, each of them with default (primary) over voltage and over current protection. SAS SCOE is used to perform sunlight/ eclipse simulation based on maximum power point tracking (MPPT) or sequential switching shunt regulation (S3R).

SAS architecture is based on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) items (power supplies, input/output units, PC, etc.) and enhanced by Clemessys’s SyCTRL products. This ensures high safety (second level protection), reliability and easy maintenance. It is designed as self-standing equipment with its own local GUI, fitted with self-test function and safety loop. Whole equipment is embedded in standard industrial 19” rack.

We offer the following options to improve usage of your SAS SCOE:

Second level over voltage/over current protection, per section or per wing
